"....his lip was cut and there were two vertical gashes on the back of his head."

According to Pappa Zimmy, there were VERTICAL gashes on his head. According to ABC's pic, there are HORIZONTAL cuts. So which is it, folks? Did Pappa Zimmy imagine the gashes? Or is ABC's pic a fraud? Cuz it can't be both ways, can it?

Oh, and I saw this quote in multiple MSM sources last night.


George Zimmerman Tells Trayvon Martin's Parents 'I Am Sorry'
http://abcnews.go.com/US/george-zimmerman-tells-trayvon-martins-parents/story?id=16177849&page=2

Testifying today, Zimmerman's father, Robert, a former magistrate, told the court that the day after Martin was killed he saw injuries his son suffered.

"His face was swollen quite a bit," Robert Zimmerman said. "There was a protective cover over his nose, his lip was cut and there were two vertical gashes on the back of his head."

The police video of Z in the station is clear enough to show that all of this is a fabrication. What amazes me is that they are so brazen about it.

Nothing I've seen yet demonstrates what he's saying. Lying sob is my thoughts on this

and yes, I do believe the Magistrate just perjured himself. Either that, or ABC's photo is a fabrication, although we do know that the police report said he was bleeding on the back of his head.

of the police video showing yet a different configuration of fictional scars. Recall this?



This is what we say with these clowns. They make shit up as they go along.

have are irrelevant. Travon would have every right to defend himself.

That Zimmerman's father appears to have lied under oath, which will make any testimony he chooses to offer highly suspect as well as making himself potentially liable for perjury.

I realize that Zimmerman's wounds are, in themselves, evidence of Trayvon's self-defense since Zimmerman was the first aggressor by stalking Trayvon.

Did the cops give George a nose protector at the station? Doesn't seem to have one in the garage.
